serbia in 2007 probably?

I think NL might snatch that win after all

They hype and success on iTunes is real and that's what it counts (not the bets )

weren't they favorites going into the contest?

[Alpha]

i dont remember correctly but there was a big buzz about a serbian ballad winning
doubt they were faves from the start

[Sasha.]

i can't at how lackluster armenia was though no wonder they're drifting

[Alpha]

people were literally turning around when aram was walking the carpet at the opening ceremony

[Ri_Ri_Rock]

Before 1st semi final Armenia was odds favorite but now it's Sweden.

I think this is the most exciting Eurovision in the last years... We don't actually know who will win.

I would like U.K. to win, they have amazing arenas for this kind of show, and they would make spectacular show next year.

How can it be on Monday if the Final is on Saturday?

[Alpha]

running order should be out by friday
yesterday night after the show the first finalists draw if they perform in the first or second half.
tomorrow the last finalsts that enter will draw and a list should be out shortly after

[Sasha.]

last year the running order was released at like 3am on friday morning, so we should expect the same this time around

I was there at the first semi-final and my main impressions are that:
- Armenia's performance was the most impressing visual-wise;
- Sweden's performance had everyone going nuts and it definitely sounds like a winning song live;
- Portugal's performance was the most fun and it received a HUGE applause from the crowd - it deserved to go to the finale. It was so cool to see all the other performers having fun and dancing during it at the Green Room, some of them (including Sanna, the guy from Belgium, the Netherlands) started the train dance;
- So happy to see Valentina from San Marino finally getting her acclaim and going to the finale;
- Spend most of the show standing next to Molly from UK, we talked a lot, danced together and she was such a sweet and adorable person;

Rooting for Sweden, Austria and UK!

Portugal and Estonia deserves to be in final. There is a lot of stupid songs in the final already, those two songs are better than half of songs that are in ESC Final.

NL is doing better than I expected but it's in no way going to win. Top 10 probably like last year. Armenia or Sweden are going to win.

Yes! So many potential winners and outsiders. I think it's going to be incredibly exciting. I'd like to see how the predictions change after the second semi-final. I do wonder how Armenia is going to fund ESC if they happen to win.

yeah Aremnia has best scenography but Sweden song sounds like winner. Also Armenia's song is very boring and repetitive till the last part of the song. Aram has vocal problems in 1st minute, he did not sing well.

[omrimayo]

It could be Sweden, Netherlands, UK, Hungary, Armenia... I guess one of those.
